Well the price seems pretty high at first glance, but since it includes a good monitor and and 240gb SSD it isn't too bad. To me the PSU is a bit overkill unless you are looking to do 3 or 4 card SLI, even good 750watt PSUs will handle 2 card SLI, but that doesn't save any money. I would however switch the videocard, The…

The rules state you can use 2 1k texture maps, that means all your texture sheets have to add up to that. That could mean 8 512 maps or 4 512 maps and 16 256 maps. You can use each of those individual maps for a different tiling texture. Now it seems you're asking if you should use a combination of tiling textures maps and…
Not really. The blocky thing is not a style, it's just a technical limitation of having a low poly-count. Usually it's that same limitation that makes people choose the diffuse-only path to begin with. It's just much lower specs. Games like WoW choose that option because they want their game to perform on a wide variety of…
Hmm, I was wondering if some of the corners needed to be rounded a bit more. Ill do that next time I work on it. I hadnt really thought much about the final polycount - Its going to be much higer than is practical for a game, but since this is just strictly for my port I figured I could get away with it. I was thinking…
Torch Maybe it has all to do with me being more used to topogun but here's some little difference between the two that bugged me. First for some reason, For exemple this morning, as a test I tried importing a mesh into 3d coat and then into topogun. In 3d coat a perfectly fine mesh took fews minutes to be imported (it is a…
Thanks for the comments guys! Haha yeah, but without that wonderful 2500 ingame vert limit or whatever it was. I have no idea how well or if it will sell, the goal is really to make a system that is generic and flexible enough that it would have a wide market. I think this sort of system would work for someone who wants to…
Yeah, but this Cintiq tablet is 13". The surface pro is like trying to sculpt in Zbrush on a post-it note. I put more thought into it and I'd wager $1500 for the android, probably $2500 on the Windows one. The new Nvidia Shield uses some tech to stream stuff from a desktop so I'm guessing the Android Cintiq will just be a…
My biggest critique on your portfolio is: bigger images! this is what i see on my 2560*1440 monitor: this is what i see on my 1920*1080 monitor: I would make sure that whichever device you're planning to show people this on (tablet or whatever), that the images are big enough to over-run the screen and cause them to…
